How much I desire you

Butterflies dance in my chest

The heat doesn't fade, my love

Hey, babe, I want to kiss you

From your toes to your head, my love

You excite me so much

I'm a hungry wolf

And the moon weeps its tears

In my eyes

You enter naked

I feel like I’m drowning in your sweat

I desire you even more

I desire you

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you

Oh, yeah

I desire you

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you

...

A drum sounded very African

It's the boom-boom of your heart

A drum sounded very Mexican

It's the boom-boom of my heart

You excite me so much

I'm a hungry wolf

And the heat doesn't fade, doesn't fade, my love

I hold you tight

Don't open your eyes

Butterflies dance in your chest, my love

I desire you even more

I desire you

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you

Oh, yeah

I desire you

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you

...

How much I desire you

Na, na-na-na, na-na-na

How much I adore you

Na, na-na-na, na-na-na

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you

Oh, yeah

I desire you

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Uh-ah

I love you
